UPDATE - Acting Secretary of Defence confirms it was VP Mike Pence, not President Trump who authorised deployment of the National Guard.

Twitter is suppressing likes on my replies today, too.
These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021
Nothing about being unemployed.
Pence as President of the Senate and Pelosi as Speaker of the House asking for the NG to help defend the Capitol.
yeah it might have been something like that..will have to look at it next time i go.
Marxist history of revolution includes chapters on how to put down counterrevolutionaries and that’s what we will see starting now.
Already Romney blamed the riots on members in the US Senate who made objections
It’s very clear that Pence is following Trump on Twitter. Anyone who clicks the link can see that.
That’s just reality.
“All this outrage”
Except about the woman who was shot. No outrage there, just an officer doing his job.
Yup, figured you’d get skewered for that.
If you don’t EverTrump/TrumpUberAlles (e.g., apparently Pence is a bad guy for counting EVs thus, anti-Trump), you’re going down here.
I am no expert on the 25th Amendment ( who is?), but why does it follow that it is invoked by Pence ordering out the Nat’l Guard? Yes, I know that’s the job of the POTUS. But Pence was there, and Trump was not, and someone had to do it. Doesn’t the 25th require some finding of incapacity to do the job, and wasn’t this an emergency?
Rather than invoking the 25th, Pence ordering the Guard is arguably an ultra vires act on his part, which could have consequences to him, not Trump.
BYW, I think what Pence did was the correct move, regardless.
Any ideas?
.
The little bit I heard on NBC radio irritated me.
I’m not big on this but compared to Antifa/BLM it’s as nothing.
I do believe the DC National Guard is controlled by the President, not the DC mayor. The only unit in America that is under direct control of Federal Govt.
Didn’t they destroy some bombs at DC Republican headquarters earlier?
You need to go read the 25th amendment.
No he wouldn’t.
Whoops....typing quicker than my brain functioned......
I’ve been to the residence several times, many years ago ...
The VP is in the National Security establishment, but the VP is not in the Military Chain of Command.
He can’t order anything but cheeseburgers.
And just like that the tweet disappeared. How ‘bout dat?
